Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea?
Keep in mind I am aware that even simplly isolating w RESILLIENT won't help keep bass in or out very effectively! Only wall thickness depth and mixed with mass barier is only way there. SPRUNG walls only really help mid and high frequencies used w... 
Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea?
Soix, since sound isolation (keep in and out) was the main goal in the room, I failed in number of areas, yes. First was (for just bare min acceptable results imo) NOT USING RESILIENT CHANNEL N ACCOUSTICAL ISSOLATION CLIPS!, yes. While I considere... 
Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea?
Ptss, I literally just cut and pasted some similar concept product web pages, and did no research at all on what might possibly be the cost to purchase one, all the ergonomics n options, and so forth. Lol. Guess I didn't care enough to follow thro... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
OK, EVERYBODY, IT'S OFFICIAL! ..Kr4 HAS SHUT THE TREAD DOWN!...we can all go home now and start on the next Oppo thread, or mull over subwoofer placement, which preamp sounds better with what rare tube, or try in vain to research which non-matchin... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
OK, EVERYBODY, IT'S OFFICIAL! Kr4 HAS SHUT THE TREAD DOWN! R.I.P 2 ch v multi thread!!! It's been real......we can all go home now and start on the next Oppo thread, or mull over subwoofer placement, which preamp sounds better with what rare tube,... 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
Again, much more high quality 2 ch content, music-wise, and most can't barely (if at all) maximize and properly setup 2 loudspeaker channels to allow for accurate high quality sound reproduction playback in the first place, let alone 5 or more cha... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Music only considered, I think most of this has to do with the overall quality of the recordings, 2 ch vs multi. I think it's clear that there's vastly more high quality 2 channel -analog and digital - content and, thus, purity of signal would lik... 
High quality pre-amp improve sound processor
I've had somewhat mixed results, to be critical for this type of integrated connectivity approach. I'd say that A lot would , besides preamp quality, depend on the connection used (i.e, Dirrect bypass, dedicated HT passthrough -seen on a few piece... 
New receiver
Denon used to have better quality control at lower price points, IME. But Denon's overall stand-alone sound quality is still a pinch better At all price points, though. What you do get is more amplifier power and features on Onkyo's, dollar per do... 
Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea?
I see this concept has a lot of interest!? ..or not. Anyway, apparently existing rooms (or sheds, in the case of those destitute sudo-audio expert posers) will be safe from foreign structures or advanced construction applications any time soon. Ya... 
New receiver
.... otherwise very good sounding Arcam, NAD, and B&K receivers but, again, NO EQ feature! (basically all rooms have bass problems you'll not fix from 20hz -300hz, and REQUIRE EQ'ing, PERIOD! ..too invaluable to pass up for hi-fidelity, IME). ... 
New receiver
I pretty much concur along lines of Rlwainwright. Separates, yes, would be strongest sounding/performing option, sonics wise. Better amplifier with separates, like 95% of the time, by default - weak amps in ESPECIALLY lower priced AVR's. If not, t... 
Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea?
Anyway, actually, this would still likely have to be a fairly involved system to construct. You'd either need the floor to be floating over the existing sub floor, and the sidewalls to rest on top of that, or the whole modular room to be floating ... 
Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea?
I believe targeting audiophiles is probably not the market, actually. I think audiophiles are happy with their $5K pre-amp, speakers and amp's of choice at the present, and some records and spinner plus tweaks, mostly. I don't even think a dedicat... 
Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea?
Lowboy, good sound inside has got to be a relative term at most, up to some level of interpretation. I think, for all intents and purposes , the home AV/HT market has pretty much got down what makes for a good sounding overall space in any given r...
